Strength:

Power, trim, finish, ride and utility.

Weakness:

Cadillac service leaves a lot to be desired. I own a MB CL500, a Chevy Suburban, a Cadillac Escalade (not the EXT), A Chevy Taho and a Silverado. The service at CAdillac isn't as good as it is with Chevy and Mercedes blows Caddy away in this area. In my opinion Caddy service is lousy (been to 3 different dealers) no matter where I go. Another area that the Caddy could do better in is the dashboard layout. The EXT and the Escalade both have analog clock that are well below the sterring column and to the right...kind of awkward when you want to look at the time. Otherwise no complaints.

I dove an Avalanche Z71 4WD (2002) for 17.8k miles. It was a great truck, loaded to the max but it was UGLY. In 2002 you had to take body side cladding. The leather interior was ok, the trim was crude but the drivetrain was strong. Net net it was okay. My EXT on the other hand is better looking, is more powerful (faster, the trim is very good, the ride is quieter, better and faster and I get the same mid-gate crossover function that I had in my Avalanche. I'm happy with mine.

I am very happy with my new truck. Although the pricetag is about $15,000 more than the avalance, (it is overpriced), the convenience provided from the extra features don't quite justify the price, but I am content with the luxury that the extra features provide: (such as rear seat entertainment, rear parking assist, stabilitrak (I believe it actually saved me from an accident when cut off at 70MPH), heated seats, memory seats and mirrors, and a stylish appearance). Also, I am averaging 14.3MPG for ALL driving since I've owned the truck. My Ford Ranger (with a 2.3L hyped up with a K&M induction among other things, pushing 33x12.50x15s) was only getting about 17MPG. Now I'm averaging 14.3 not bad for more than 3x the power!

Strength:

The SUT with mid-gate is perfect for my use as car/SUV 90% of time, and pick-up 10% of time. VERY VERSATILE! Neck snapping power. Rides very well with good handling. Sits up with very good vision all around. High-end sound system, climate control. Comfortable seats. Lots of front and back seat head, leg and shoulder room. I''m 6''1" and have the seat set high with inches of room above my head. Compared it with Avalanche (test drove Avalanche twice). The ride in the Escalade EXT sold it. The Avalanche drove like any other truck. The EXT drove like a luxury car.

Weakness:

Costs 25% more than an Avalanche, and not as rugged. If you plan to truly "off-road" and "scrape bottom" frequently, you''d be better off with the Avalanche. Likes gas.

First "truck" I''ve owned. Love it. Great ride, quiet. Powerful. Feels like a luxury car with versatily of a pickup. No longer have to ask friends with pickups to help haul. Have enjoyed on long (1500 mi) trips and around town. Unique styling draws mostly positive oohs and aawhs.

Silverado 1500 was only pickup I''ve driven for long hauls, and it doesn''t compare.
